Even when you’re not playing the game for whatever reason, you’ll still be thinking about it. Thankfully there are ways to stay connected to the world of GTA V even when you’re not sat in front of your TV. One of which is taking the time to watch YouTube videos related to the game. Having done just that, we have compiled a list of 10 of the best GTA V videos released so far; all embedded below for your delectation.

It should go without saying that some of the videos are NSFW and not suitable for minors. GTA V is rated as an adult game, and the videos reflect that. You have been warned…

GTA V: In Real Life

This is billed as a GTA V review but actually isn’t anything of the sort. College Humor cleverly published this just ahead of the release of the game, thereby fooling people into thinking it was real. The video plays on the claim that GTA V is the most realistic Grand Theft Auto game to date. It is, but thankfully not to the degree suggested here.

GTA V: Dangerous Prank

There are those out there who have accused GTA V of playing on racial stereotypes and being a bad influence on society in general. This prank, which you really shouldn’t try at home, runs with that idea, as a brave stupid guy asks random strangers if they’ll help him kill some people. The vast majority turn down the invitation.

GTA V: Glitches Compilation

Very few games are delivered bug-free these days, especially as developers know they can just patch any major issues. Sandbox games are notoriously prone to glitches, and GTA V is no exception. This video pulls together some of the more impressive glitches seen in Grand Theft Auto 5, and while they’re all funny, some will surely give you nightmares.

GTA V: Dumb Ways To Die

In 2012, a brilliant viral video showing dumb ways to die, which was actually a PSA for Metro Trains Melbourne, did the rounds. Now, someone has made a parody/tribute/cover using GTA V as inspiration. The singing may be a little flat, but the examples of dumb ways to die in GTA V are all very fitting and funny.

GTA V: Fail Compilation

Fail videos are always fun, as long as no one gets seriously hurt, of course. Thankfully, as GTA V is only a game and not real life, no one can get hurt, even mildly. Which means we can watch people flying planes into buildings or driving motorbikes off mountains without feeling even the slightest tinge of guilt.

GTA V: Meets Mythbusters

Is it possible to jump out of a helicopter and survive the fall without a parachute? Or knife a shark that’s attacking you in the ocean? Maybe not in real life, but things are different in the world of GTA V. If only we could get the Mythbusters on the case. Oh wait, we can. More episodes of this series can be found on the DefendTheHouse YouTube channel.

GTA V: Online Mayhem

Not everyone had trouble getting GTA Online up and running, and when those lucky individuals did so they were able to enjoy extreme amounts of fun. This crew of friends run amok in the game, killing each other, driving big rigs, and basically showing off some of the best things GTA Online has to offer.

GTA V: Timelapse Video

We finish with a video showing the softer, more subtle side of GTA V, with various parts of the game’s environment given the timelapse treatment. Not only is this strangely beautiful and mesmerizing, it also demonstrates how Rockstar creates living, breathing worlds that we, via on-screen characters, merely visit temporarily.
